This Just In...

...via Fox News, but not on their web site (yet). The Global Language Monitor has just released their Top Politically inCorrect Words for 2005. My favorite:
6. Deferred Success as a euphemism for the word fail. The Professional Association of Teachers in the UK considered a proposal to replace any notion of failure with deferred success in order to bolster students self-esteem.
So...you wouldn't get an "F" if you failed a course. You'd get a DS. Sounds like BS to me. But wait, there's more. Much more.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
